Love Poem: Love For Great and Small

Love For Great and Small

LOVE FOR GREAT OR SMALL

Many eons ago, in minds far superior to ours
from a past Man never knew the earth became habitable 
before the savage became Homo-sapiens
visitors had come from unknown worlds scouting earth for expansion

They carefully laid seeds of their DNA and planted green vegetation
returning several millennia later to sow their crops
the early laborers expressed love in the way they planted their crops
upon returning they saw earth had flourished 

Mourn if you must for our present predicament 
cry what we have become but our origins were borne out of Love
leave no unsavory emotion untouched all emotions have been earned
we must savor each emotion before we settle in our graves 

"Stay brave," the space farmer said with affectation,
“Don’t become mindless dead meat enjoy the life you've been given
it'll be the only one you'll get, when you find a mate
love like you never loved before enough to last a millennia

and don't forget kindness, give your fellow humans much kindness"

Pundits and wise men have said it since Man could talk
there are no tomorrows in death
they also said death is temporary, souls are eternal 
and experience of having lived before is not knowable

But care enough for someone at least once
and discover why love is so revered in the Universe
if you do not, you have lived a lonely, wasted life
and misused your life’s purpose and God's great gift of life to you

Nothing feels better to a person’s skin in winter
when the icy winds blow and snow scurries from nook to cranny 
than body heat from both bodies cuddled, naked under warm blankets
it may bring forth ideas to commit to Love forever

Love is in abundance. just look around
yet Love is desperately needed but know there is someone for everyone 
Love comes from the inner depths of one's heart
just don’t be so picky, experienced love has no equal

Love for all creatures, great and small, is desperately needed everywhere
nay demanded by the vast expanse 
of this dark, cold and unwelcoming Universe
the place we call home.
